I'm currently talking to him right now. He's not budging. Should I break his fingers so he can't call the person that's selling?
and if so, what should I suggest to him.

if he wants it, it does have 80K mi. worth of tranny warranty on it. he does know that's not a cl-s, right?

His requirements are nothing over 30,000 miles, and has to be under and around the 20K price. So yes, he does realize it's not a CL-S. He doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

Good luck with the trannys tennis =/ (I personally feel I will survive, but it's just a pain).
He found an 02 accord coupe fully laoded with 15K miles for $20K. Would that be better?
-One more thing, tennis, where do you find your deal? I kinda think $20K for a CL-P's alil' high =/

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
I think $20k for a CL-P with 80k miles on it is pretty silly. I would probably never get a CL-P anyway. The CL sort of needs the -S to be a real CL

found it off of recycler.com. that is the place to go, esp if you want those new accords.
in fact, as i was looking, found a beautifully modded (19s, exhausts, coilovers, etc.) 03 accord w/ 22k mi for 18,9 too. but went with the CL, 29k, type s, my preferred color - listed 18,5 - bought 17,4.
just take a look.
and honestly, i'd still take the cl anyday. even with a 5 to 2 sudden downshift

-And my friend will get the CL. He can't find any good CL-S's he says and will probably get that dark grey CL-P. He likes the feel of it. I am of course a proponent of... "if a car can make you feel that much better, it can't be bad". who said that? i have no idea. probably someone not very practical.

well he'll be sorry and you can always tell "i told ya so" once he starts getting tranny problems that DONT HAVE A FIX, and you're just fucked and there's nothing you can do about it

CLS 6MT Navi
I think that price is too much considering what more you can get with the Type S, which are more numerous too. Not gonna comment on the automatic but I love my 6 speed.
So no I wouldn't buy it, esp for that price, but I'm not him. just depends on what he wants to get really. Good color choice tho :P

If I remember correctly the accord has the exact same tranny as the CL, but someone will correct me if I am wrong.
You can find a CLS for the same price and a few more miles. They are around, just be patient. If you break your friends fingers he will have plenty of time to recover and look for a car.

I somehow doubt that. I love my CL-p and I've had it for 3.5 trouble-free years. Still waiting on the tranny issue and I know it's a possibility ANY day, but I have no regrets on which car I bought. Given the choice today, I would opt for the CL-S but it doesn't exist anymore, so it's not really an issue.
Let him buy it if he's really into it. He's (presumably) a big boy who can decide if 225 hp is enough for his life - and if a potential tranny problem is a deal breaker or not.

Final answer. He ended up buying it anyway. I told him that if the tranny issues show up, he better damn well get a TL or TSX as a loaner. ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
-Also, he said he has the 100,000 mile warranty, but it's for 4 years, and not 7 years. Why? Because certain 2003's are like that apparently says Acura. I said to him: "what the crap?"
